Networking Cable EFB Elektronik Cat5e RJ-45 SF/UTP 1m Grey

The Networking Cable EFB Elektronik Cat5e RJ-45 SF/UTP 1m Grey is a 1 metre patch cable for 1 Gigabit Ethernet (Cat.5e, 100 MHz) with shielded RJ45 plugs. It uses SF/UTP construction with foil and braid shielding around four twisted pairs (4 x 2 x AWG26/7) and a LSZH jacket, meeting flame retardant and low-smoke halogen-free standards for safe indoor installations. Connectors follow TIA/EIA 568B coding and the plugs comply with IEC 60603-7-3.

Advantages

The cable provides reduced electromagnetic interference due to its foil and braid (SF/UTP) shielding and grounded, shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs. Its LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath offers enhanced safety in confined spaces by limiting toxic gas and smoke in case of fire. The 1 m length is suitable for short connections in patch panels, wall ports or between nearby devices, while TIA/EIA 568B wiring ensures compatibility with standard network installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within offices and homes
• Patch panel and wall outlet to device connections
• Short-range 1 Gigabit Ethernet links where shielding is required

How to use

Plug each shielded RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring the connectors are fully seated. For best shielding performance, use with equipment that provides a grounded shield connection (shielded ports or chassis). The 1 m length is intended for short patching; avoid excessive bending radius near the connectors and do not tug on the cable to prevent damage to the conductors or strain relief.

Recommendations

Use this SF/UTP Cat5e cable for short, shielded 1 Gigabit links in environments with potential electromagnetic interference or where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is required. Verify that connected ports support shield continuity to benefit from the cable shielding.
